"Shen Lang, I didn't expect Sister Su to do that! I really didn't say anything..." Liu Jiaojiao quickly explained.
She was terrified that Shen Changji would misunderstand her!
She was destined to be the mistress of the house, so she couldn't be so jealous. Most importantly, Su Miao's behavior was beyond her expectations!
She knew that Su Miao came from a poor background and might be insecure and sensitive, but she didn't expect her to be so fragile and sensitive.
No wonder, she always saw Liu Muxuan coaxing her gently.
Liu Jiaojiao clutched her handkerchief tightly, looking startled.
She hasn't married into the Duke's mansion yet, so she absolutely cannot reveal her true nature.
"Shen Lang, will you believe me?" Liu Jiaojiao looked up at Shen Changji.
Every time she saw this man, her heart would flutter for him.
In every aspect, Chen Changji is excellent.
He was so outstanding that he fascinated her and haunted her dreams.
The flickering candlelight cast a faint shadow, revealing a tall and imposing figure with a composed and handsome face. He exuded an aura of righteousness, and his every gesture conveyed the authority of a ruler.
“I believe you,” he said in a long silence.
Just those three simple words filled Liu Jiaojiao with a sense of satisfaction.
Seeing Liu Jiaojiao's appearance, Shen Changji seemed to realize something and explained, "The reason I had her move next to me was to keep a close eye on her. After all, she's not from the Duke's mansion, and I was afraid she might have ulterior motives. It's always good to be cautious. So you don't need to think too much about it."
Impure intentions...
Upon hearing these four words, Liu Jiaojiao's heart sank, but she still pretended to be magnanimous on the surface to hide her inner turmoil.
"Shen Lang, don't worry! I won't overthink it. After I marry into the family, I will treat her like my own sister," Liu Jiaojiao said sincerely.
"That's good." Shen Changji nodded.
Faced with Shen Changji's cold and indifferent attitude, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't sit still for long.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward and hugged Shen Changji from behind.
She pressed herself tightly against Shen Changji's back, trying to feel the warmth of the man she had longed for for so long, and said softly, "Chen Lang, I was just frightened. Can you comfort me?"
As she spoke, she reached out to touch his deep, silent chest.
They were going to get married sooner or later, and she was, in a sense, this man's betrothed...
Shen Changji frowned, pushed Liu Jiaojiao away, and said in an icy voice, "Please have some self-respect!"
“Shen Lang…I…”
"Is this how the Liu family raises their daughters?" Shen Changji's brows furrowed with displeasure.
"No...no! I was being presumptuous! Shen Lang, it's all my fault. I...I'm not feeling well, I'll go back now!"
With that, Liu Jiaojiao pushed open the door and fled in a panic.
She wanted a deep and quiet affection, to bring their feelings closer, but she didn't want things to backfire and end up him hating her...
We can't let Shen Changji hate her!
Absolutely not...
She was determined to marry into the Duke's mansion and marry Shen Changji!
Thinking it over, Liu Jiaojiao tried to calm her breathing and quickened her pace to go back, afraid that someone would notice something was amiss.
Su Miao was not surprised at all when she heard Tao'er's report.
She scoffed lightly, her eyes full of disdain, and leisurely played with the hairpin in her hand.
She'd slash her own face? Are you kidding me!
If anyone's going to paddle, it'll be Liu Jiaojiao's!
She's not that stupid!
"Come on, put some more powder on my face!" She also wanted to pretend to look pitiful.
After all, Liu Jiaojiao is Shen Changji's betrothed, and he will definitely seek revenge later!
No sooner had Su Miao finished speaking than Lone Eagle's voice came from outside the door.
"Tsk, you're really quick!" Su Miao smiled, showing no fear whatsoever.
...
About the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Su Miao finally appeared before Shen Changji.
She still looked like a pear blossom in the rain, and timidly called out, "Brother."
"Don't pretend, you used a bit too much powder tonight, it doesn't look as natural as last time," Shen Changji added with a smirk.
Su Miao: "..."
"come over."
"Brother...be gentle, I'm afraid it will hurt!"
Knowing that Shen Changji would confront her, Su Miao deliberately softened her voice and walked towards him with a timid expression.
With two steps to go, Shen Changji pulled Su Miao into his arms and looked down at her.
Su Miao straddled Shen Changji, her expression slightly uneasy.
"Afraid of pain? But who was it that kept bothering me that night?" He whispered in Su Miao's ear, his voice low and husky.
Su Miao stood stiffly, her breathing slightly erratic.
She could feel the man's large hand resting on her waist belt...
